Really a good example of what a judge should be. He treats people fairly. He reads and listens. He has a good awareness of what is happening in the courtroom. Works hard. You should aspire to have a judge like this.

Judge Jordan is a Judges Judge. He is professional on and off the bench, he starts early so attorneys and litigants do not have to wait, he is respectful to everyone, he reads and applies the law, you never feel like he is trying to rule for political reasons. We need more Judges like Judge Jordan on the bench.

Judge John Jordan discriminates against women, is seeking to perpetuate hateful rhetoric against women seeking reproductive justice, and quite frankly is a moron. Thanks Florida, for allowing such a disgrace to contribute to burying this state into the swamp that it is. Planned Parent hood provides life saving services and to ignore Roe vs Wade affirms his lack of medical knowledge and common sense. John does not care for the communities well being seeing as he ordered a Planned Parenthood clinic in Kissimmee, Florida to stop performing abortions and ultrasounds because such procedures may violate zoning restrictions on the property. Zoning laws are implemented as loop holes in order for the pro life morons to implement their agenda. I pity this whole state and feel an enormous amount of empathy towards women struggling with these impossible circumstances in Florida. Stay strong women of Florida, we are taking one piece of shit out of office at a time!

Judge John Jordan is such a pleasure to appear before here in Kissimmee. He reads the files before the hearing. It is obvious that he has a strong Civil Litigation background. Only Civil Judge in the Ninth Circuit that has plenty of hearing time (he opens up hearing time if trials go away). He rules without delay and his Orders are detailed, factual and cite relevant case law. He makes everyone in the courtroom feel like they are respected. We need more Judges like Judge Jordan.

For a civil lawyer two years on the bench, he has done amazingly well handling criminal matters. Does not get caught up in "courthouse law" and applies the real law. Does not punish a defendant who elects a trial.
